Student Printing

In order to reduce the impact of paper use and printing on
our environment, and to adjust for state budget cuts, all students have a printing account,
tied to their myHighline ID.

Printing in
classrooms, open labs, and the Library Information Commons will
be charged to that account.

Printing Credit

Each quarter every active student will be given a $10
credit on their printing account.

Students
who have paid the Academic Technology (CF) fee will be
given an additional $10 credit for the quarter in which the fee
is paid. This credit will be applied after the end of the
add/drop period.

Once those allocations are used up, students can add to
their accounts at kiosks in Buildings 25 (Library), 29 (Higher Education Center),
and 30 (ATC, top floor).
Currently, the value-add kiosks can only accept cash payments.

Printing Costs

Duplex printing will be the
default in the library information commons and all open
labs, as well as classrooms where the printer is duplex-capable.

Color prints - 50c/page

Posters/Plotter - 1c/square inch (Calculated on size
of actual printing. This equals approximately $10 for an
large "E" size plot.)

In addition, copiers in the library will use the new system
for payment in the near future. Photocopies (Library 2nd floor) will
continue to cost 5c/page.

How to Print

Students will be required to log in with their myHighline account. Exactly
how you log in to print will vary by location. The various
printing scenarios are listed below.

your account. Select "yes" to accept the cost and send
the print job, or select "no" to decline the cost and

To release the job from the printer, log in at a
release station (near the printer) with your myHighline
